US Dock & Door, a platform company of Soundcore Capital Partners, has closed the add-on acquisition of The Total Garage Store, a supplier of garage doors.
US Dock & Door (USDD) was formed by Soundcore in September 2023 as a platform in the overhead door and dock equipment services sector. It has now made six acquisitions for the platform and serves customers located in the Southeast and Northeast United States.
USDD provides installation, maintenance, and repair services for commercial loading dock equipment, entry systems, and residential garage doors. The company’s products include ribbed steel pan garage doors, aluminum full-view doors, rolling steel doors, high-speed doors, loading dock equipment, and security gate products that are used in industrial facilities, distribution centers, universities, and retail stores, as well as by residential homeowners and home builders.
USDD was formed by Soundcore in September 2023 as a platform in the overhead door and dock equipment services sector to acquire Georgia-based sister companies Top Notch Dock & Door and Top Notch Garage Door, and Georgia-based Premier Overhead Doors. In January 2024, USDD added a third business with the acquisition of Georgia-based Select Door Services, and a fourth business in July 2025 with the buy of Rhode Island-based Garage Headquarters.
Total Garage installs, repairs, and services overhead doors for residential and commercial markets. The company operates under six local brands, including Arden Garage Door, Allied Overhead Door, Farmer Garage Door, Jackson Overhead Door, Smith’s Garage Door, and EXL Garage Door, and provides products ranging from standard residential doors to heavy-duty commercial entry systems. The company, led by President Bill Earnest, was founded in 2008 and is headquartered south of Nashville in Nolensville, Tennessee.
According to Fortune Business Insights, the global garage and overhead door market was valued at $6.8 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach $9.9 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 5.2%. Growth is supported by increased spending on residential renovation projects and the construction of commercial warehousing facilities.
Soundcore specializes in North America-based buy-and-build investments in the lower middle market. Target companies typically have EBITDA from $2 million to $14 million and are active in business and outsourced services, industrial services, specialty manufacturing, and value-added distribution sectors. The firm closed its most recent fund, Soundcore Capital Partners Fund II LP, at $350 million in July 2018 and is currently in the process of raising its third fund. Soundcore was founded in 2015 and is headquartered in New York City.
XLCS Partners was the financial advisor to The Total Garage Store. “Choosing XLCS to help sell our business was one of the best decisions we made,” said Mr. Earnest. “Their guidance throughout the process was exceptional. They provided clear advice, offered creative alternatives when needed, and respected our decisions every step of the way.” Nashville-based XLCS provides a range of services including seller advisory, buyer advisory, and capital raising.
